Not Worth the Saving

The bedding was dirty, and the shower was absolutely disgusting. There was even a used bar of soap left in the shower. The price was unbeatable since it included free parking, which is rare in Berkeley but not worth it. I am all for saving money, but there is a point where it outweighs any savings.

deeply unimpressed

The rooms had visible wear and tear, the sheets / comforter were stained, the staff was rude and my toilet didn't work. I had to fill the tank with warer just to flush it every time (awful) and when i told them about it, they did nothing to fix it. I then had to hear the man at the front desk yell on the phone through the wall since my room was next to the lobby.

They posted 2:30 pm check in, but they make us wait until after 3:00 pm, staff had bad attitude, limited breakfast,etc etc Never returning to that hotel, they took my friend and mine credit card to charge for the room, but only I was charged for both rooms. Very bad experience

Upon check-in, the person at the desk was on a phone call which was very rude! When I entered the ADA room, there was a STRONG strange fragrance present as if they're trying to cover up an ongoing un-addressed unpleasant odor. I noticed stains on the white blanket on the bed. When I turned the bed down, there was a faint pink stain on the fitted sheet...like it couldn't be removed while being laundered. Entering the bathroom, I noticed noise from a drag-out fan that ran incessantly! There was no switch to turn it off, so I ended up keeping the bathroom door closed to alleviate the nagging sound. The shower stall was equipped with an affixed shower seat (at close glance, was NOT properly cleaned), and grab bars. The tile on the walls was very nice! However, the floor tile was horrendous!! The grouting was shoddy to say the least! There was NO attention to detail! Whatever was used to patch up the grouting issue, was sloppily applied! Thank goodness there was room ...I ended up using the corner of the space to avoid that area. The faucet had VERY poor water pressure! To make matters worse, the water drained slowly. I ended up lifting up the stopper which helped somewhat. I could go on and on, but why bother!! The lack of care shows!! Needless to say, I would not recommend the establishment! Perhaps other rooms were better suited. However, I seriously doubt it!

Pleasant surprise

Stayed one night. Was very clean and nice. Room and shower were good sized. Don’t know why other reviews said it was filthy. I would stay here again.
